Now it has been forever since I worked on any fic except "If Only it Were Easy," so I haven't worked on any of my other three fics at all. However, I have gotten a lot of reviews asking me to continue this story, and not enough for the aforementioned fic, so while it's on ice, I'll be writing a chapters for my other fics instead. I appreciate any reviews, because like I said, they always help influence the story plot or story structure. Thanks for reading.


"Hey, Leo. Have you noticed that this whole situation seems...off?"

Fyuria couldn't shake the feeling that whatever was going on shouldn't be happening. Unless this place was the inside of the Lucrellia Pillar... but even that didn't make sense. Not enough for her to seriously consider it, at any rate.

Leo was slow to respond. "...It does seem that way... but I'm far more worried about the physical state of where we are. Things seem different. The plants look sickly, the sky seems bent, and the horizon feels unnatural. Wherever we are, it is far from normal, and that most likely means it is far from safe. We need to get moving, and find a place to stay, hopefully before nightfall. Let's worry about our exact situation later."

"I'm not sure there will be a nightfall, Leo."

Her husband looked at her quizzically. "What do you mean?"

Fyuria motioned towards the supposed sun with the abnormal growth on the horizon. "I've been keeping track of time as best I could, and I'd say we've been here for at least one to two hours. But the sun hasn't moved at all. As far as I can tell, it's in the exact same position as when we first saw it. What if wherever we are doesn't have day and night? What if this noon-time atmosphere is the only time there is?"

Leo rubbed his chin in thought. "That would be most...disconcerting. But I suppose that even if that is the case, it wouldn't affect us too terribly much. It may be a bit disorienting at first, but I think we can deal with it. And even then, it has gotten just a little darker. The sky was much...ah, bluer, earlier."

Fyuria cocked an eyebrow at him. "Bluer?"

Leo looked back at her indignantly. "Yes, BLUER. If you have a better term, than you tell me what it is."

She smirked. "Well yes, actually, I do. The sky was a lighter shade of blue when we awoke then it is right now." She looked up at the sky. I would say it is navy blue right now, which is a pretty dark contrast compared to the light blue just a little while earlier."

Leo turned away from her and stared at the sky as well. Although the sky itself had gotten much darker, the light was still the same as earlier. What an unusual phenomenon. But still, there were more important things to worry about. The sky was not as important as figuring out what the hell was going on. Investigating this place seemed to be the correct course of action at the time. He turned back to face Fyuria. "Let's go check out the horizon. It seems to be the easiest abnormality to follow around here. We'll just walk towards the sun, as it hasn't been powerful enough to blind us so far. Agreed?"

Fyuria glanced at him incredulously. Like she was going to object to any of his decisions. "Agreed."


Walking towards the horizon had seemed fruitless. By Fyuria's count, the pair had spent four hours walking towards the glowing white, monstrosity of a sun before they had reached anything that didn't look like the terrain around them. However, even seeing the same landscape for four hours had been fascinating. As Leo and Fyuria had moved out of the copse of trees they had awoken in, they had caught view of many things they hadn't been able to see from there. There were jagged mountains off to the west, (Or what they decided should be west, since they had dubbed the sun to be north) and each had strange dark green haze swirling around their peaks. Seemingly endless plains were off to the east, the grass itself a multitude of unusual colors, from blue to red, and even purple, all giving off a strange similarly colored aura. It looked like massive, multicolored heatwave was rising out of the grass.

Even the sky had managed to change. Instead of being it's dark shade of blue devoid of clouds, it had changed color to pitch black, and the sky had been filled with what seemed like millions of stars, all as colorful as the grass below them, forming beautiful shapes, forms, and constellations. There were so many, in fact, that although the sky was pitch black, you could barely see the sky at all, because there were so many vivid shapes and colors up there with it. And still, the massive, white sun with the abnormal growth was still exactly where it had been since Leo and Fyuria had awakened. The only difference now was that it gave off an aura as well, bathing what would have been darkened land in a freakish white light. The weirdest part was that wherever the light touched, there were no shadows. Even when Leo and Fyuria looked behind themselves, their bodies possessed no shadows. It was disturbing, to say the least.

But none of that was comparable to what the two of them were seeing now. Leo had been right about his observation on the horizon earlier. They had indeed come to a cliff. A cliff that stretched for as far as Leo could see both to his left and right, perfectly straight. But that had not been the amazing part. That was that this cliff... connected to nowhere. There was no land at all when Leo looked out at the sun. Instead, all he saw was the sky. The same pitch black sky, the same colorful constellations, and the same white sun, except now he could see the whole thing, half of it having been under the cliff's ridge line. And even that was not all; when Leo looked down, the cliff-side extended downward forever, never reaching any ground. And a massive waterfall was pouring down the side of the cliff, it's water seemingly seeping out of the cliff-side itself and disappearing into an endless void.

It was as if they had reached the end of the world. As if the world itself was flat, as was the belief all those centuries ago. What Leo was seeing...wasn't physically possible. It couldn't exist. The world was round, not some plane that just stopped at all the edges. How could this be happening? It hurt his head just thinking about it. He couldn't understand; he just couldn't fathom it. He retreated a distance from the cliff and the massive waterfall that seemingly fell directly into space in order to think. Where the hell had he landed? Was it one of the other continents? Even if it was, this... this wasn't-!

"Leo."

Leo was snapped from his thoughts by the sound of Fyuria's voice. "I know this is bothering you a lot, but you shouldn't worry about it so much. No matter where we are, or what's going on, we'll be with each other the whole way, and there's nothing we can't overcome like that."

Leo smiled at her. She was right. Things would be fine. As long as they were together, he had nothing to worry about. "Thanks Fyuri. Why don't we go ahead and sleep here for the night. We'll just use my coat to block out the light. Besides, the grass here is pretty comfy."

Fyuria blushed and looked away from him. "A-alright. But if you do 'that' again, I definitely won't forgive you, OK?"

Leo knew what she was talking about, and he could only imagine how angry she would be if he did it again. "O-of course not. Wouldn't dream of it!"


So there it is. Finally, after two months, here is the next chapter of this fic. And it's SO FREAKIN' SHORT!

Hopefully, The chapters will start to get longer as the story plot thickens.

AND I PROMISE THE NEXT CHAPTER WON'T TAKE SO LONG TO PUT OUT!

Thanks for reading, please let me know if there is anything I could do better, or if the story is procceding nicely. Thanks!
